Summary

Elon Musk vowed to cancel government grants after allegedly gaining access to the US Treasury’s payments system, triggering the abrupt resignation of a senior official.

Musk, who leads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claimed his team found Treasury officials approving payments without scrutiny.

Democrats, including Sen. Ron Wyden, raised alarms over Musk’s influence on federal funds. Treasury access concerns intensified after Trump ally Michael Flynn posted grant payments online.

Musk’s authority to halt payments remains unclear, and the Treasury has not responded to inquiries.

      Arrested? This man needs to be 6 foot under by any means necessary. That’s the only way this thing ends. Nobody is going to arrest him.

      Which brownshirt do you want to arrest him? The ones in Congress? The ones in the SC? The gestapo?

        What did you think they meant by “Department of Government Efficiency”?
